integration - Calculate intinftyinftyex2cos(ax)dx using Taylor series cosine

Let a>0. Im trying to show that ex2cos(ax)dx=πe14a2. I'm taking a course on measure theory, and I want to prove this using the Lesbesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem. The idea is to write
cosax=m=0(1)m(2m)!(ax)2m,



so assuming we may switch the integral and summation using the above mentioned theorem (which I haven't proved yet), we get
limRRRex2cos(ax)dx=limRRRex2m=0(1)m(2m)!(ax)2mdx=limRm=0(1)ma2m(2m)!RRex2x2mdx.

But now we are left with
RRex2x2mdx


for mN. I know that for m=0 this integral doesn't have a nice solution, and I doubt it has a nice solution for m1. Is it possible to solve this problem using this route, or is it a dead end?



I'm aware that there are other methods to solve this, see Gaussian-like integral : 0ex2cos(ax) dx.



Edit: I solved it using Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem (LDCT). First, I proved that the improper Riemann-integral was equal to the Lebesgue integral, and then I switched the summation and integration using LDCT. I ended up with Rex2xndλ1, which I could calculate using an improper Riemann-integral. I ended up with the Taylor series of πe14a2.
